TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE DIRECTED SHARE ISSUE

The Board of Directors of Cargotec Corporation (the “Company”) has in its meeting of December 4, 2013, by virtue of the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting of the Company on March 19, 2012, resolved that the Company shall reissue from treasury up to 2,959,487 Series B shares of the Company (the “Shares”) by a directed share issue. The Shares will be issued on the following terms and conditions:

1. SUBSCRIPTION

Up to 2,959,487 Shares shall be reissued from treasury in the share issue. The Shares will be offered to be subscribed for by institutional investors in deviation from the pre-emptive subscription rights of the shareholders set forth in Chapter 9, Section 3 of the Finnish Companies Act.

2. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE AND ITS ENTRY INTO BALANCE SHEET

The subscription price for the Shares is EUR 25.00 per Share. The subscription price for the Shares is based on the price determined in the accelerated book-building procedure, which the Board of Directors of the Company considers to represent the fair value of the Shares.

The subscription price shall be recorded in its entirety to the invested unrestricted equity fund of the Company.

3. SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AND PLACE OF SUBSCRIPTION

The subscription period commences on December 4, 2013 and ends no later than on December 27, 2013 at 5.00 p.m. The subscription shall be effected by paying the subscription price of the Shares to the bank account as separately designated by the Company or alternatively to the bank account of the Company linked to the book-entry account of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company reserves the right to extend the subscription period.

4. TERMS OF PAYMENT

The subscription price of the Shares shall be paid no later than against delivery of the Shares. The delivery of the Shares will take place in the trade settlement of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd against payment therefor.

5. RIGHT TO DIVIDEND AND OTHER RIGHTS

The Shares carry a right to dividend and other shareholder rights as from their delivery.

6. REASONS FOR DEVIATING FROM THE PRE-EMPTIVE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS

There is a weighty financial reason for the Company to deviate from the pre-emptive subscription rights as the proceeds of the share issue will be used for refinancing of existing debt of the Company and restrengthening the balance sheet and as the Company receives equity financing under terms (including the timetable and price) that would not, in the understanding of the Board of Directors of the Company, have been otherwise available.

7. OTHER ISSUES

The Board of Directors of the Company will decide on other matters related to the share issue and practical arrangements resulting therefrom.
